Overview
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages is one of two Zelda titles released for the Game Boy Color, the other being Oracle of Seasons. The game retain many gameplay elements from Link's Awakening such as the graphics, audio and top-view perspective. It also features eight dungeons and a large overworld to explore like in the previous games. Oracle of Ages is said to be more puzzle-oriented than its counterpart being more action-oriented. After completing one of the two games, both can be linked to form a single linear plot with an alternate ending. Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons were often credited as being two of the top games for the Game Boy Color.

Secrets and tips for The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (GBC, 2001)
• Linked Game: after beating Ages, your quest continues in Oracle of Seasons (and vice versa) using secret passwords the old man in Maku Village gives you.
• Character passwords: talk to certain NPCs in one game to get passwords that unlock items like the Biggoron's Sword or rings when given to specific people in the other game. Codes are unique per save file.
• Magic rings: have Vasu appraise your rings. The rarest ones (rank 5) come only from linked-game passwords or repeated Gasha Nut planting.
• Gasha Seeds: plant them in fertile soil, but avoid spots where you've recently used many bombs or died often; your save's state affects the rewards.
• Hidden secrets: several characters only appear in a Linked Game, such as certain item trades and secrets in Horon Village.
• Useful wildlife: use Dmitri's flute to swim rivers and reach key areas early; it can also skip some rooms in the Black Tower.
• Hero's Cave: in a Linked Game, a special cave appears in Ages; complete its ring-themed trials for rewards.
• Final tip: always save before using passwords between games, since each save file can only register them once.
